Dominic Hargreaves uploaded new packages for request-tracker4 which
fixed the following security problems:
CVE-2012-4733
A user with the ModifyTicket right can bypass the DeleteTicket right
or any custom lifecycle transition rights and thus modify ticket data
without authorization.
CVE-2013-3368
The rt command line tool uses semi-predictable temporary files. A
malicious user can use this flaw to overwrite files with permissions
of the user running the rt command line tool.
CVE-2013-3369
A malicious user who is allowed to see administration pages can run
arbitrary mason components (without control of arguments), which may
have negative side-effects.
CVE-2013-3370
Request Tracker allows direct requests to private callback
components, which could be used to exploit a Request Tracker
extension or a local callback which uses the arguments passed to it
insecurely.
CVE-2013-3371
Request Tracker is vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks via
attachment filenames.
CVE-2013-3372
Dominic Hargreaves discovered that Request Tracker is vulnerable to
an HTTP header injection limited to the value of the
Content-Disposition header.
CVE-2013-3373
Request Tracker is vulnerable to a MIME header injection in outgoing
email generated by Request Tracker.
Request Tracker stock templates are resolved by this update. But any
custom email templates should be updated to ensure that values
interpolated into mail headers do not contain newlines.
CVE-2013-3374
Request Tracker is vulnerable to limited session re-use when using
the file-based session store, Apache::Session::File. However Request
Tracker's default session configuration only uses
Apache::Session::File when configured for Oracle databases.
This version of Request Tracker includes a database content upgrade. If
you are using a dbconfig-managed database, you will be offered the
choice of applying this automatically. Otherwise see the explanation in
/usr/share/doc/request-tracker4/NEWS.Debian.gz for the manual steps to
perform.
Please note that if you run request-tracker4 under the Apache web
server, you must stop and start Apache manually. The "restart" mechanism
is not recommended, especially when using mod_perl or any form of
persistent perl process such as FastCGI or SpeedyCGI.
For the squeeze-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 4.0.7-5+deb7u2~bpo60+1.
